Namaste Trump (stylised as नमस्ते TRUMP) was a tour event held on 24 and 25 February 2020 in India.[1] It was the inaugural visit of the then US President Donald Trump and his family to India.[2][3] A rally event of the same name was held in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, and was the highlight of the tour, as a response to the "Howdy Modi" event held in Houston, Texas, in September 2019.[4] The Motera Stadium (now known as Narendra Modi Stadium) hosted US President Trump and his family along with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. An attendance of over 100,000 people was reported,[5] with some speculating an attendance as high as 125,000.[6] The tour was originally named "Kem Chho Trump" but was renamed by the Government of India to promote Indian nationalism over regionalism.[a][7]
